Not available in English ttbomk, but I can read this translation.
Really interesting engagement with the Meadows Limits to Growth report, from the GDR. Parallel to another from Zagreb at the same time.
The quality of the bits I've read is great.
Verso UK should bring it out.

Yvonne Bloor habe ich kürzlich eher zufällig beim Notenstöbern entdeckt: Ihre Musik gefällt mir sehr gut. Studiere gerade "Wedding Song" ein (aus: Heartstrings. Collected Guitar Works, vol. 3). Das Stück gefällt mir sehr gut; hier spielt die Komponistin es selbst, großartige Artikulation und Phrasierung:

Anyone know when the VA pulled its component library?
I was checking a breadcrumb accessibility fix that I linked from a 2023 USWDS bug I filed:
https://github.com/uswds/uswds/issues/5463#issuecomment-2188640853
And the VA appears to have wiped it all…

I wish #mypy would slow down with adding new features to mypyc, and instead focused on fixing the train wreck that mypyc is right now (since 2023 at least). Like, if your code crashes hard with assertions enabled, then it's broken, period. Ignoring proper testing and shoving the issue under the carpet doesn't make it right.

UPLOAD-ANYON: Progress Towards an Optimised Twisted Anyon Cavity with High-Sensitivity AM-Noise Detection for an Ultralight Axion Dark Matter Search

Abstract: We propose a superconducting single-mode microwave haloscope based on helical cavity resonators for the detection of ultralight dark matter axions over the mass range $10^{-18}$ to $10^{-13}\,\mathrm{eV}$. Building on the single-mode helical-cavity concept introduced by Bourhill et al. [Phys. Rev. D 108, 052014 (2023); arXiv:2208.01640], we use an inverse-design framework to develop practical resonator geometries compatible with superconducting niobium fabrication. The optimisation employs a figure of merit derived to minimise the measurement time required to achieve a fixed experimental sensitivity. Relative to the heuristic M\"obius-geometry benchmark, the best subtractively manufacturable bulk-niobium design achieves a figure of merit more than three orders of magnitude larger. An experimentally informed microwave interferometric readout model, incorporating measured electronics noise and active suppression of pump amplitude noise, is used to project the sensitivity of the proposed experiment. For an acquisition time of three months, the haloscope is projected to reach $g_{a\gamma\gamma}<10^{-11}\,\mathrm{GeV}^{-1}$ across more than four orders of magnitude in axion mass. The projected sensitivity extends approximately one order of magnitude below the current exclusion limits set by CAST, providing a practical pathway towards a high-sensitivity direct search for ultralight dark matter axions.

@… Anfang 2023 hab ich damit experimentiert. Hat Anfangs Spaß gemacht, wurde aber relativ bald sehr generisch.

AI & water,
"Experts stress that, overall, data center water consumption pales in comparison to the usage by industries like agriculture and some kinds of manufacturing. Researchers have estimated that data center cooling systems consumed 66 billion liters of water in 2023, less than 1 percent of the nation’s total consumption."
